You understand and agree that once a guest requests a booking of your Accommodation, you may not request the Guest to pay a higher price than mentioned in the booking request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Listings and Member Content you publish. Consequently, you declare and warrant that any Listing you post and the Booking of, or a Guest's stay at, an Accommodation in a Listing you post (i) will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, such as homeowners association, condominium, or other third party agreements, and (ii) will (a) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as zoning laws), Tax requirements, Intellectual Property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Accommodation included in a Listing you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (b) not conflict with the rights of Third Parties.

If you are a Host, you understand and agree that NightSwapping does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent.

If you are a Host, Nightswapping offers you certain tools that can help you choose if you would like to accept or refuse the Members who would like to make a Booking for your Accommodation. You acknowledge and accept that you, as a Host, are responsible for your own actions and omissions and are also responsible for the actions and omissions of any individuals who reside at or are otherwise present at the Accommodation at your request or invitation, excluding the Guest (and the individuals the Guest invites to the Accommodation, if applicable)

NightSwapping recommends that Hosts acquire appropriate insurance for their Accommodations. Please go over any insurance policy again that you may have for your Accommodation with care, and in particular, please make sure that you are acquainted with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of or relating to Guests (and the individuals the Guest invites to the accommodation, if applicable) while at your Accommodation. Please also revise such policy for any interaction with the Nightswapping Host protection insurance program, to the extent provided in your jurisdiction.

VII/ No Endorsement

These Terms require that the Members must supply precise and correct information. Although NightSwapping may, for transparency or prevention of fraud or detection purposes, directly or through third parties, ask you to provide a form of government identification, your date of birth and other information, or undertake additional checks and processes designed to help verify or check the identities or backgrounds of Members and/or screen Member information against third party databases or other sources, we do not make any representations about, validate, or endorse any Member of the Member's asserted identity or background.

Any references on the Site to a Member being "verified" or "connected" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process, and does not represent anything else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or promise by NightSwapping about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Instead, any such description is intended to be beneficial information for you to assess when you make your choice about the identity and appropriateness of others whom you contact or interact with via the Site.

VIII/ BOOKINGS AND FINANCIAL TERMS

Key definitions

"Accommodation fee" means the quantity that is due and to be paid by a Guest in exchange for that Guest's stay in an Accommodation. The Host alone, and not Nightswapping, is accountable for the Accommodation Fees for his or her Listing. The Host may in his or her sole discretion decide to include in these amounts a cleaning fee or any other fee permitted on the Nightswapping platform.
"Booking fee" is the fee that a Guest has to pay NightSwapping for the use of services. It is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Accommodation fees. When the Guest is given the question of whether to send a booking request to a Host, the Booking Fees will be displayed.
"Payment Method" means the payment method that one can add to the NightSwapping Account, for example a credit card, debit card or PayPal.
"Total Fees" means altogether the Accommodation Fees and the Booking Fees plus any Taxes.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Hosts

If you are a Host and a Booking is requested for your Accommodation via the Site, it is necessary that you either preapprove, confirm or reject the Booking Request Period, otherwise the Booking request will automatically expire. When a Booking is requested via the Site, we will share with you (i) the first and last name of the Guest who has requested the Booking, (ii) a link to the Guest's NightSwapping Account profile page, (iii) if the Guest and Host have both connected their NightSwapping accounts to SNS and have not turned off sharing of social connections, the names of any shared connections on such SNS, and (iv) an indication of whether or not the Guest has provided other information to NightSwapping, such as a verified email address, connection to SNSs, or a government ID.
If you are not able to confirm or decide to reject a Booking request within the Booking Request Period, any amounts collected by NightSwapping for the requested Booking will be given back to the applicable Guest. When you confirm a Booking requested by a Guest, NightSwapping will send you a Communication confirming such Booking, depending on the selections you make via the Site.

NightSwapping will collect the Total Fee from the Guests upon confirmation of the Booking by the Guest and proceed to the creation of a MANGOPAY Account for the Guest and the Host, as defined in the general terms of MANGOPAY. "[Contract services payment in virtual money MANGOPAY] (https://www.nightswapping.com/assets-new/docs/mango_terms/mango_terms_en-us.pdf)."

The Host and the Guest will both benefit from virtual money (named NightWallet) on the Site. The NightWallet of the Guest will be reduced with the amount of the Accommodation Fee, upon confirmation of the Booking. Within 24 hours of the arrival of the Guest in the mentioned Accommodation, a transfer of the amount of the Accommodation Fee will be made from the NightWallet of the Guest to the Host. The Host can either use his Wallet to travel or to request a transfer to be made so the saved Nights will be transferred into money on the Host's bank account.

Bookings and Financial Terms for Guests

The Hosts, not NightSwapping, are lone responsible for honouring any confirmed bookings and making available any Accommodations reserved through the Site. If you, as a Guest, decide to enter into a transaction with a Host for the Booking of an Accommodation, you agree and comprehend that you will be required to enter into an agreement with the Host and you agree to accept any terms, conditions, rules and restrictions associated with such Accommodation imposed by the Host. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not NightSwapping, will be solely responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, that NightSwapping is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of NightSwapping Payments' obligations compatible to the Payment Terms, Nightswapping disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.

You as a Guest agree to pay the Total Fees for any Booking requested, and in majority cases confirmed, in connection with your NightSwapping Account. NightSwapping will collect the Total Fees compatible to the Payment Terms. Once your confirmed Booking transaction is completed, you will receive a confirmation Communication summarizing your proved Booking.

Booking Fee

In consideration for the use of NightSwapping's online marketplace and platform, NightSwapping charges Booking Fees. The Booking Fees are, as previously indicated, included in the Total Fees. The applicable Booking Fees will be indicated to the Guests on the Site before sending the Booking request, they represent fifteen (15) % of the total Accommodation costs. If a Guest uses his/her Wallet to perform a Booking, the Booking Fee will be calculated on the remainder due: fifteen (15) % (Accommodation Fee - Amount in the Wallet)

Cancellations and refunds

If, as a Guest, you wish to cancel an already confirmed Booking made through the Site, before or after your arrival in the Accommodation, the [Cancellation Policy] (http://help.nightswapping.com/hc/en-us/categories/115000402025-Cancellation-policy) described on the Site, shall apply to such cancellation.

If a Host cancels a confirmed Booking made through the Site, (i) the Accommodation Fee for this Booking will be immediately available in the NightWallet on the Site, and (ii) the Guest will receive communication with NightSwapping, containing other Listings and related information. If the Guest requests to make a Booking for another proposed Listing and the associated Host with that other Listing confirms the Booking that was requested by the Guest in question, the Guest will not pay the Booking Fee, unless the amount of the accommodation for this new Booking is higher than that of the cancelled Booking, (iii) if the Guest does not find a new Booking he can ask to convert his virtual money to his NightWallet and retrieve the Accommodation Fee. It will be necessary to make a written request to NightSwapping, if he wants the Booking Fee to be reimbursed via the following address: contact@nightswapping.com.
If, as a Host, you cancel a confirmed Booking, you agree that NightSwapping may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a Booking was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled Booking.

IX/ Taxes

You as a Host comprehend and agree that only you are responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the Taxes that should be included, and for including Taxes to be acquired or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You alone are also responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. NightSwapping cannot and does not offer Tax-related advice to any Members.
Where applicable, or based upon request from a Host, NightSwapping may issue a valid VAT invoice to such Host.
You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (hereafter referred to as "Tax Authority") where your Accommodation is located may need Taxes to be collected from Guests or Hosts on the amount paid for the right to use and/or occupancy of accommodations, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Accommodation Fees set by Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called "occupancy taxes," "hotel taxes," "lodging taxes," "transient taxes," "sales and use taxes," "value added taxes," "room taxes" or "tourist taxes".

XI/ Damage to Accommodations and Security Deposits

As a Guest, you are responsible for leaving the Accommodation (including any personal or other property located at an Accommodation) in the condition it was in when you arrived. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Guest, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals whom you permit to enter, or otherwise provide access to, the Accommodation. In the situation that a host claims otherwise and gives evidence of damage ("Damage Claim"), including but not limited to photographs, you agree to pay the cost of replacing the damaged items with equivalent items.
Hosts may choose to include security deposits in their Listings. Each Listing will describe whether a Security Deposit is required for the applicable Accommodation. NightSwapping will make great efforts to address Hosts' requests and claims related to Security Deposits, but NightSwapping is not responsible for administering or accepting any Damage Claims by Hosts related to Security Deposits, and disclaims any and all liability in this regard.

If a Host has a Damage Claim regarding a confirmed Booking of an Accommodation, the Host can escalate the Damages Claim to NightSwapping if the Host and the Guest are not able to resolve a Damage Claim. If a Host escalates a Damage Claim to NightSwapping, you as a Guest will be informed of the Damage Claim and you'll be given a chance to respond. If you, as a Guest, agree to pay the Host in connection with a Damage Claim, or if NightSwapping determines, in its sole discretion, that you are responsible for damaging an Accommodation or any other personal or other property located at an Accommodation, NightSwapping will collect any such costs from you and/or against the Security Deposit. NightSwapping also reserves the right to otherwise collect payment from you and pursue any way available to NightSwapping in this regard in situations in which you have been determined, in NightSwapping sole's discretion, to have damaged any Accommodation or any other personal or other property located at an accommodation.

The Guests and the Hosts accept to cooperate with NightSwapping, to aid NightSwapping in good faith, to provide the information necessary to NightSwapping and to take reasonable measures requested by NighSwapping, regarding all Damage Claims or other complaints or claims made by Members relating to Accommodations or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation (including, without limitation, claims for payment made within the framework of the Allianz Insurance) or concerning any investigation undertaken by NightSwapping or a representative of NightSwapping concerning use or abuse of the Site. If you are a Guest, upon reasonable request of NightSwapping and to the extend you are reasonably able to do so, you agree to participate in meditation or a similar resolution process with a Host, at no cost to you, which process will be conducted by NightSwapping or a third party selected by NightSwapping or its insurer, regarding losses for which the Host is claiming payment from NightSwapping under [terms of the Allianz Insurance] (https://production-nightswapping.s3.amazonaws.com/media/profiles/_common/file/3d19383a-de45-477a-bdd3-69ec494413d5.pdf).

If you are a Guest, you understand and accept that NightSwapping can proceed to make a claim under the Allianz Insurance policy, concerning any damage or loss that you may have caused or been responsible for or to an Accommodation or any personal or other property located at an Accommodation. You accept to cooperate with NightSwapping and to help NightSwapping in good faith, and to provide NightSwapping the information that could be reasonably required by NightSwapping, to make a claim under the Allianz Insurance, including, but not limited to, signing the documents and taking such other measures as reasonably required by NightSwapping to perform the foregoing.

The Security Deposits, if requested by a Host, may be used for the payment of any expenses due by a traveller extending his stay in the Listing without the consent of the Host.

NightSwapping has opted for [MANGOPAY] (https://www.mangopay.com/en_UK/) as payment service provider.
